[opensuse-artwork] Login screen in 12.2
by Rajko 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

KDE login screen in 12.2 is strange looking, not simple as some elements suggests. http://paste.opensuse.org/7206708 is what I see after installation in a Virtual Box. I actually don't know where to start. To make email shorter here are my comments: http://paste.opensuse.org/36344173 And here is a fast mockup of what I think will look better: http://paste.opensuse.org/34977242 As fast mockup, I meant that there was no time to fix every detail, so there is many copy paste errors, mainly due to gradients that I did not try to fix. Shadow of openSUSE logo in a dark gray area is intentional. I like that way. Also, now when published, I see that: * linux.site fits better with Users * space between input fields and icons should be smaller * time and date are just unnecessary noise (and, no I will not try to fix all that without rich help from someone that understands code behind current login screen) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] SMB Traffic Analyzer project looking our for graphics
by Holger Hetterich 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hi all, The smb traffic analyzer project (a network traffic analysis tool for Samba servers, see http://holger123.wordpress.com/smb-traffic-analyzer/ ) looks for artists who are able to create a nice logo for the software package, and who are willing to donate the artwork to the project for free and in a compatible way regarding the license (SMBTA is GPLv3). We think the current logo ( http://morelias.org/smbta/gfx/smbta300.png ) is nice, but has grown a little bit on us, and since we will release a new version of SMBTA very soon, we would like to see something new at this place. Non of the dev team is experienced in making nice looking graphics, hell, some of them are even colorblind to an extreme So none of the guys will be able to do something on it, and that's why we are looking out for people wanna help. Rules? There are a few. Design? What ever you like... as you can see the old logo uses things like a lens and bit's floating around to focus a bit on the network analysis idea. Any idea you have is fine. In the ideal case we would require: - a SMBTA logo that can be used in each sub-program ( this does not have to be a circle as it's done in the current logo, a rectangle format is fine) in SVG format (so that we can build it into the programs by resizing it to just fit into the components) - an application icon for those parts of the project that are visible on the desktop (SVG or typical icon sizes set) Work is currently being done to move the SMBTA homepage and documentation to one of servers of the Samba Team, and to release a new version of SMBTA. While we release with a "when it's done" strategy, we are really looking forward to get the package done, and would like to include the new graphics on any of these places. What's in it for you?

[opensuse-artwork] Procedure of contacting the web artists
by Eugene Trounev 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

(This email is a logical continuation of a discussion we have recently regarding nice artwork we find on the web) Hi people, In an ongoing effort to make our artwork team more organized I have taken a liberty and came up with a "How to contact an artist" procedure. You can find it on the wiki right here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wallpaper_graphics_(proposals) To save you time here is the text: 1) Once you have found artwork you really like somewhere on-line you have to first add it to this list. 2) Unless the artwork is licensed as Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License, or Public domain - the arwork author/owner must be contacted 3) As soon as you have decided to actually get in touch with the author/owner you must first let openSUSE artwork know you are doing so, by sending an introduction email to art mailing list (http://lists.opensuse.org/) The email has to include a link to the artwork, the artwork author/owner's name, and a sample text of the email you are about to send to him/her/them. (Done in a effort to make the web search more organized and coordinated) 4) Mailing list participants will respond with their suggestions/corrections to your email. 5) Send the text of the email mailing list has agreed upon to the artwork author/owner and CC the art mailing list. 6) Wait for a reply. 7) Once/If a positive reply has been received update this page with license/author information, and author/owner's comments (if any). 8) Once/If a negative replay has been received update this page - remove ALL unnecessary information about the artist, leave only artist's name, website address and a brief message indicating that the artist/owner replied negatively. 9) (In any case) Send a reply to the owner/artist and thank him/her/them for their time. If you have any comments/changes you would like to propose please reply. Thanks.

[opensuse-artwork] Wallpapers selection
by Rajko 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

There is a lot of photos and graphics around the web and many are potentially fine wallpapers. How to find them? Browse and when you have something you like post link to the wiki. For now use http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wallpaper_graphics_(proposals) Note: The ideal wallpapers are not busy pictures. They will not make desktop items hard to find, or at least they will have large areas where users can place icons and they will be nicely visible. Also look for the license. It should permit: * non-commercial use, * it should permit derivative works If not, you can still ask author for permission. openSUSE web is a good place to publish someones work as opensuse.org has a lot of visitors, many more then some other places where people publish their work. The idea is that from this collection one will select those that go into next openSUSE. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

Actually, now that you put it this way, why don't be make something like a pool of good photographers from all over the NET and then contact them one by one and see if they are interested in helping out. This is what we could offer them: Every now and then we would go through their portfolio and choose a few images we like for wallpaper. We will then contact them regarding each of those images and request to release those to us under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License ( http://creativecommons.org/choose/results-one?q_1=3D2&q_1=3D1&field_commerc= ial=3Dy&field_derivatives=3Dsa&field_jurisdiction=3D&field_format=3DStillIm= age&field_worktitle=3D&field_attribute_to_name=3D&field_attribute_to_url=3D= &field_sourceurl=3D&field_morepermissionsurl=3D&lang=3Den_US&n_questions=3D= 3) which will allow us to use the artwork in our distro, including commercial derivatives (this must be explicitly explained to an author) and modify it (share alike clause). We however, under the CCASA license will clearly display the image attribution via tiny [name and web-address] string in the bottom-right corner of an image. I'm sure people will like this, especially if we word the email carefully enough, making sure there are no hidden "costs" to us and to them.
